Walking trails at Symonds Yat Rock

Explore Symonds Yat Rock and the surrounding woodlands

From Symonds Yat Rock there are a range of signposted walking trails taking you all over the forest. Make sure you visit at different times of year - enjoy the autumn colours or the spring flowers, no two visits will be the same.

Just a short walk from the car park you will find the spectacular view point. Bring your binoculars to spot birds of prey nesting in the rocks.

Head south to go deeper into the woods towards the Forest Holidays or Bracelands campsite, or head downhill to the River Wye and village of Symonds Yat East (beware: its uphill on the way back!).

Make sure you refuel at Symonds Yat Rock Cafe.
